Brazil Outlasts Colombia Amid Controversy and Massive Bugs

Host Brazil is moving on to the semifinals of the World Cup after beating fellow heavyweight Colombia 2-1 in a game that had its share of suspect calls.

As Matthew Cowley noted there were a total of 51 fouls in this match, which made the whole thing kind of a slog. Many, many fans were crying foul at the officiating, especially as it mostly came to the aid of Brazil, the host country.

That was the ugliest Brazilian victory in the World Cup since... since... their opening match vs. Croatia. #blech
